Living Hope Presbyterian Church is rejoicing at God’s provision of a new pastor!

If you find yourself in need of counsel, encouragement, or would like to speak to our pastor for any reason, please do not hesitate to reach out by email. Pastor Tommy would love to meet with you. Please let us know how we can come alongside you for support.

Sunday School Classes, 10 AM Sundays

Beginning Sunday, July 5, join us for Sunday School at 10 AM as we begin a new series, Christ In All the Scriptures: Old Testament Survey. Over the next few months, we will survey each Old Testament book, seeing how the history of redemption speaks of and finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. All are welcome!

There are classes for children as well, using materials and Bible lessons from Great Commission Publications.

Midweek Bible Study Group on Summer Break

The midweek Bible Study group is taking a break for the summer and will resume in September.

First Sunday Fellowship

The next First Sunday Fellowship Lunch is scheduled for Sunday, July 5. Bring something to share and join in a time of good food and good fellowship after the morning worship service!

How to Access Online Worship Services

Living Hope Presbyterian Church livestreams Sunday morning worship services on both YouTube and Facebook for those who are not able to join the in-person service. The services begin at 11 AM. 

To join the service on YouTube, go to our YouTube page or search for Living Hope Church Brunswick Maine. (The audio quality of the YouTube livestream usually is better than that on the Facebook reel.)

If you have a Facebook account, you can simply type Living Hope Presbyterian Church into the search line to go to our Facebook page.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can go to facebook.com\mbopc This will also take you to the church’s Facebook page, though you may have to go through some ads to get there.

Living Hope Presbyterian Church gathers for worship on the Lord’s Day, but for various reasons some of us may gather in spirit rather than all face to face.

We hope that you will join us as we observe the Lord’s Day in rest and worship. Remember, even if you cannot see and hear your brothers and sisters at Living Hope, we are all worshiping together! Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus and enter heart and soul into that sweet communion with God that only Jesus can provide.

Parking at church

When parking here at Living Hope, we want to be good neighbors. There are spaces in the parking lot behind the church building, and parking is available on the grassy center strip between our driveway, closest to the church building, and our neighbor’s driveway, but please do not encroach on our neighbor’s driveway. We realize that parking spaces are limited here at the church, so please be mindful of this as you park. There also are some on-street spaces on Westminster Avenue, between Uncle Tom’s Market and the Sweet Angel Thai restaurant.

Driving with Care in the Parking Lot

We share driveways and parking lots with our neighbors, and, especially now that the weather is warming up, children may be in and out of the church building, as well as adjacent buildings. Please drive slowly and carefully in the parking lot and in all areas near the church. We want everyone to be safe! Thanks!
